How much did Downing, Carroll and Henderson cost again?

Don't be silly. Why loan them to Premier League sides? Vitesse in the Eredivisie is the TRUE way to measure a player's skill and help him grow to his unlimited potential!!! Just look at Ulises Davila and van Aanholt!

He has the worst work rate of any player I've ever seen play for this club. When out on loan at Swansea, he didn't run once.

TORRES!?!

Yes. There is more insight when they speak, more facts throughout the game etc. Not just "Sandro is on the ball..." ... "Sandro passes to Hulk...".

2 things I've noticed - 1: Hulk's chest is HUGE. 2: American commentators >>> Our own British commentators. Also, their media team, and whoever does all the fancy stuff on screen are much better too also. Their presentation of the line-ups etc. are great.

I'm sorry for sounding blunt, like a moody prick, and not giving an explanation, but he simply hasn't impressed me at all.

Lambert has walked out on Norwich City for not being allowed to talk to Aston Villa over their managerial vacancy. What an absolute dickhead. Gets his team promoted, plays good football all season and upsets some odds along the way, then goes and disrupts the team by upsetting Grant Holt and now wants to leave his team who finished mannnyyy places above Aston Villa, for Villa.

Don't mind whether we get Hulk or not, but it looks like we are, so I guess I'll be staying up for this game! Already so tired though Hope he gets a hat-trick to make this worthwhile.

Just found out he rejected Tottenham and then joined us! Already a bit of a legend now!

In my opinion (which is often not wanted ), we'd be much better off not spending £30mil+ on Hulk, and instead, invest in an Xabi Alonso type player. He holds his position in a defensive midfield role, can intercept well, and dictate play and hoof up precise, long-balls, splitting defences with ease. De Bruyne, Kakuta, Ramires, Sturridge, Hazard, any of them can play on the right or left wing - no need for another un-natural winger playing on the wing IMO.

Sorry for this being completely unrelated to Chelsea, but wow, what a video. Such a shame Del Piero has left Juventus now. Totti is really the last of the golden age of Italian forwards.

OR... let's just talk in theory here... MAYBE, I'm more INTO this website and Chelsea than you, live a completely different lifestyle, AND also access this site from my phone when out on the go, and therefore, post a lot. Again, just a theory. P.S. - That's an average of 16 posts a day. An average post for me takes around 20 seconds - 1 minute to write. So I'm spending maybe around 10 minutes a day writing posts on here.

I think I've posted around 7 pictures. I have 166 posts. Yes, that MUST be half!

Great game from Nando. Anyone noticed he's lost his injury proneness since joining us?

El Nino's passing has been superb this game compared to when he's been with us this season. Much more power behind the passes and less dwelling. This Torres, with our new attack next season, wow. *Grabs tissues*

Who got the assist? Mata or Monreal? I can't tell who it was.

Perfect header.

Torres looking sharp. Coulda had 2 by now.

Here's a crappy, Spanish stream for the game: http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/124969/7/watch-south-korea-vs-spain.html

Fantastic read about the 'real' Eden Hazard: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/1082536/eden-hazard-is-chelsea-bound-for-the-right-reasons?cc=5739

hey guys i was thinking. if we get guardiola i remember messi saying that hes like a dad to him so maybe messi would like to come too because he doesnt want to lose his parent. we would need a good transfer offer though so maybe we could give barcelona sturridge and maybe torres as well. also if messi came then i think xavi would be sad and would come too and replace lampard, then we could retain champions league.

Mata and Torres start for Spain.
